Athenaeum Of Sin Reviews

When the listener hits the play button, the exhilarating roar of a motorcycle engine ignites the opening of Speed Booze Rock N Roll, only to culminate in a thunderous crash. This explosive start unleashes a ferocious onslaught of raw, aggressive instrumentals and vocals, like a hellhound unleashed from the depths of chaos. As the listener embarks on the exhilarating journey through the rest of H​ë​llrid​ë​r‘s track Speed, Booze, Rock N Roll, they are met with an unrelenting force. 

H​ë​llrid​ë​r delivers a sonic experience akin to a high-octane engine, revving at full power with every note. The music erupts with a raw, chilling atmosphere that embodies the essence of black metal, while the speed metal influences drive the tempo forward with relentless energy. The aggressive thrash metal elements clash with the audacious spirit of punk rock, all underpinned by the robust sounds of hard rock and rock N roll. The listener’s perspective plays a crucial role here. When I dive into Speed, Booze, Rock N Roll by H​ë​llrid​ë​r, I can’t help but feel a strong connection to the American Psychobilly band The Camps. Their unique blend of rockabilly and punk rock, often referred to as Psychobilly or punkabilly. For me, this vibrant sound is also present in the music of H​ë​llrid​ë​r, creating an exhilarating fusion.

H​ë​llrid​ë​r and their single Speed, Booze, Rock N Roll burst forth as a shocking, unrefined, and unyielding fruit of art that dances on the edge of satire and rebellion. Drawing inspiration from legendary bands like Motörhead, Discharge, Bad Brains, Wraith, Midnight, and early Sodom, they don’t merely mimic these influences; instead, they channel their essence to forge a sound that is distinctly their own, a wild concoction that pays homage while blazing a new hellish fruit of art.

H​ë​llrid​ë​r and their single Speed Booze Rock N Roll, burst forth from this D.I.Y. production, evoking the vibrant spirit of the early eighties. It possesses a nostalgic, proto vibe that transports listeners back in time. The devilmanship at play delivers a visceral experience, filling the ears and soul with unrefined instrumental and vocal arrangements. The scorching guitar riffs are gritty and untamed, while the pounding drums propel the music with relentless energy. Meanwhile, the dynamic vocals slice through the soundscape, igniting the lyrics with fervour and passion.

If you’re someone who craves music that’s gritty, unrefined, and unapologetically intense—music that dives into themes of metal, wild parties, cold beer, and a post-apocalyptic vibe—then H​ë​llrid​ë​r is your perfect match. This is the kind of music that demands to be cranked up, especially on a Sunday or during those Witcher hours.
